The central region of Vietnam is forecasted to face heavy rainfall caused by the Storm Trami which is making its landfall in the area on October 26.



Vu Anh Tuan from the Vietnam National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting speaks with Dantri/Dtinews about the Storm Trami on October 22.

Speaking to Dantri late Tuesday afternoon, Vu Anh Tuan from the Vietnam National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting (NCHMF), said that the storm is expected to cross Luzon Island (Philippines) and enter the East Sea on October 24.

"From the morning of October 24, heavy rain and strong winds are expected to hit the region with waves in the East Sea rising up to 6-8 metres, accompanied by severe thunderstorms and the potential for tornadoes," Tuan said.

In response to the storm, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has sent an urgent telegram to local authorities and relevant ministries, calling for emergency measures.

Coastal provinces are urged to closely monitor weather reports and inform fishermen and vessels at sea to take necessary precautions. Plans to protect lives and property must be underway, with emergency rescue teams and communication systems on standby.

On land, the Ministry urges evacuation plans for those in high-risk areas. Additionally, local forces must be quickly deployed to ensure traffic safety in regions affected by floodwaters and landslides.

Critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and reservoirs, must be under close surveillance, with repair teams ready to respond to any incidents.
